Semiconductor metrology and defect classification using electron microscopy
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a first plurality of electron-microscope images for respective instances of a semiconductor structure is obtained from a first source. The electron-microscope images of the first plurality show different values of one or more semiconductor-fabrication parameters. A model is trained that specifies a relationship between the first plurality of electron-microscope images and the values of the one or more semiconductor-fabrication parameters. A second plurality of electron-microscope images for respective instances of the semiconductor structure on one or more semiconductor wafers is collected. The one or more semiconductor wafers are distinct from the first source. Values of the one or more semiconductor-fabrication parameters for the second plurality of electron-microscope images are predicted using the model.
